[quote=Anonymous]My son is in 5th grade and he is 10. He won't be 11 until July. I am not a helicopter parent but I wouldn't want him set loose in a theme park at that age. I am a teacher and some years u chaperone the 8th grade trip to Six Flags. I remember my own 8th grade trip to HP. We have the kids check in with us every two hours. All of the kids have to physically meet us somewhere predetermined. By 8th grade, almost all of them have cell phones. We meet towards the end of the trip at the water park where we can supervise them in the water. Some teachers get in and keep an eye on the kids. Some of them can't swim. The other teachers babysit the electronics and bags etc. I'm surprised the OP's child's school hadn't gone over protocols with chaperones. We don't allow patent chaperones on this trip. In many cases, they are more immature than the kids. [/quote]
